  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

How do I research how many nations there are in the world with out any source? Lets assume I am the first one who tries tó do this research, How!?
By doing what you just did ... asking an online community.

There are [questionably] 196 countries in the world.

That is more of a political consideration. Remember the story about the island that wanted to be a nation so they could foreign aid money from the united states.

But can you trust the replies to be sincere and accurate?
You would need evidence to support their claims, surely.

Don't do it. There are some resources at anywhere.
The correct question is: what is the resources at (that) place?

I am not an alien, I am simply the first one ever doing the research!! And if i am the first one ever doing the research I do not have any sources...

But if you're the first one doing the research - you have to have a definition of 'nation' to know how to count them. You have to set up the parameters for what that thing is somehow...
